4.0 out of 5 stars Ah, baby blankets...sooo sweet!, November 14, 2006

By	armchairinterviews.com (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

Jan Eaton is a needlecraft and textiles designer who has worked as a freelance designer. She is also the author of numerous needlecraft books.

Winter is coming and life seems to naturally slow down. The hobbies and crafts we may have set aside for the summer are just waiting to be taken out of the closet. Get those crochet and knitting needles out and get ready to make some fast, fun and interesting baby blankets, afghans, shawls and crib covers.

200 Stitch Patterns for Baby Blankets includes helpful tips and techniques for knitting and crocheting, yarns and colors, and great edging patterns. I especially like that the patterns are rated for the level of skill needed to complete a project. It saved me a great deal of frustration and probably an unfinished project. It is also helpful that each pattern tells us (especially beginners) the method of working the project (horizontal rows, worked in rounds, diagonal rows, filet, etc.). The photographs offer additional visual help.

Tuck Eaton's book on the shelf in your craft library. It will be used over and over again. And you will be the author of many beautiful items for personal use and for some lovely gifts.

Armchair Interviews says: If you want a book that is all-purpose (for blankets) this is it

5.0 out of 5 stars Crochet, May 6, 2007

By	Sherry Renee "Sherry Wescott" (Rensselaer, New York) - See all my reviews

200 Stitch Patterns for Baby Blankets by Jan Eaton is an easy to read book with crochet and knitting patterns. The patterns are explained well and the closeup pictures are a big help. My only problem with the book is that I only know how to crochet and after seeing all of the neat knitting patterns I am anxious to learn how to knit.
